"I have a 30 year old driveway that has seen better days. It’s not in my budget to have it replaced, so I wanted to find a company that would use hot tar to seal the cracks and then apply a brush-on sealer. I contacted several companies that would not do both of these procedures, and if they did, the price would almost double. I found RDS’s website and requested a quote via e-mail. They promptly got back to me and scheduled a date to come and do a free estimate. The gentleman that did the estimate was willing to hear me out on what I wanted to get done, and took it all into account. The crews that came to do the repairs explained everything, were very quick, and cleaned up after themselves. Long story short, RDS did what I wanted, when I wanted, and for a terrific price! The driveway looks just like I wanted, and it will hopefully last until I can get it replaced."

"I hired Morgan from Mayapple to renovate a yard at a multi-unit property. The yard was dreadful and mostly weeds. Since this is a tenant occupied property, I had three goals in mind: one - low maintenance; two - create a space to be enjoyable for the tenants, and 3 - reduce concerns about water since the yard is very flat and flanked by two other properties. When I met Morgan he introduced the idea of using native plants to revitalize gardens in the Lancaster area. I learned that native plants are very low maintenance since they are intended to grow in the local climate. Caring about the environment and the effects of inappropriate vegetation, I found this idea to be brilliant. It was clear that Morgan really understood the science behind his work. He also had vision quickly for the project based on my description. The end project is amazing! I am so excited to see everything bloom in the Spring/Summer/Fall next year. He designed an excellent patio using pavers I already had - great use of existing resources and my budget! He re-homed some trees that weren't great for this year - that made me super happy since they didn't go to the landfill. As for the water concern - he created a great rock feature that sort of act as a drainage run and it's super attractive! Job well done. I highly recommend Mayapple to anyone who wants to do better for their environment and for those who may not have the clearest vision of how to accomplish their projects."

"Access did an excellent, professional job. We chose Access because, even though they cost a bit more than other estimates we obtained, they acted as something close to general contractors. They took care of obtaining and scheduling electricians and plumbers, for example. Their knowledge of the type of work that we needed and the nature of our problem was impressive, and the owner was willing to spend the time to carefully explain the problem and the proposed cure. We had a water remediation system installed with a pump and marine battery backup. The work crew was totally professional. They knew exactly what to do and explained what they were doing. The interruption of our household was kept to a minimum. The job was begun and completed on time. This was an impressive company who was worth every penny that we paid. We would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for gravel or loose fill paving install, spread or scrape projects in Conestoga, PA

To calculate how much pea gravel you need for your project, multiply the length, width, and depth of the area you want to cover to find the volume in cubic feet. Then, divide that number by 27 to convert it to cubic yards to determine the amount of pea gravel you need.

A yard of pea gravel weighs about 1.3 tons or 2,600 pounds. Keep in mind that wet gravel weighs more than dry, and different types of gravel can vary in weight. For example, due to its density, river rock weighs significantly more than crushed stone and pea gravel.

The ideal depth for pea gravel depends on the type and size of your project. You'll need at least two to three inches for walkways and patios and a minimum of six inches for driveways to support heavy vehicles and prevent shifting over time. Aim for a depth of three to four inches in decorative garden beds or drainage areas.

Pea gravel is attractive, versatile, and low-maintenance. It provides excellent drainage, making it ideal for pathways, driveways, and garden beds. On the downside, its sharp texture isn't ideal for bare feet, and it can be challenging to weed or remove once installed. It can also shift underfoot without proper edging, creating an uneven surface.

Alternative landscaping materials you can use instead of pea gravel include wood chips, decomposed granite, crushed stone, pebbles, quartz, mulch, sand, and river rock. These materials offer different aesthetics, performance, and costs, so it’s important to do your research to determine which one best fits your landscape design and budget.

Many homeowners choose pea gravel because it requires minimal upkeep compared to other landscaping materials. You'll need to rake it occasionally to redistribute the stones and maintain an even surface. Pros also recommend installing weed barrier fabric beneath the gravel to prevent unwanted growth, although some weeds may still appear over time.
